COS Orientation

​COS Orientation Program Mission Statement​​

The​​ College of the Sequoias Orientation program seeks to promote student success by facilitating ease of transition to college for new students, connecting new students to campus resources and programs, and preparing students for the institution's educational opportunities, services, and student responsibilities.

COS Orientation Program Goals

1. The COS Orientation Program will provide new students with information and opportunities to explore academic success strategies.

2. The COS Orientation Program will provide new students with the ability to understand and articulate the benefits and challenges of a diverse campus community.

3. The COS Orientation Program will provide new students with a sense of connection to the institution and the community.​
